🔥 What’s really happening under the hood of AI tools?
You’ve played with ChatGPT, dabbled with Perplexity and Copilot, maybe even explored ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini. But do you actually know how these large language models (LLMs) work—or which one is best for your task?
LLM Mechanics is here to demystify the inner workings of modern AI. From tokenization to output generation, you'll explore how LLMs process information and why it matters when you're solving real-world problems in writing, coding, research, or enterprise operations.
This session is hands-on, zero-fluff, and perfect for anyone who wants to move beyond buzzwords and into strategic AI fluency.
-----
💡 What You’ll Learn:
✅ How LLMs are trained, structured, and deployed
✅ The lifecycle of a language model—from input to output
✅ How to match specific models to specific goals (e.g., research vs. creativity)
✅ When not to use an LLM—and what to use instead
👉 This session is perfect for professionals, students, educators, creators, and curious minds — no coding experience required.
-----
🧠 Why It Matters:
AI is everywhere, but without understanding how large language models work, it’s easy to misuse them, trust them blindly, or miss out on their full potential.
This workshop goes beyond surface-level tools to help you:
- Think critically about the AI models you use
- Select the right model for writing, coding, research, or automation
- Avoid AI hallucinations and mismatched outputs
- Build confidence in your ability to work with AI, not just around it
By decoding how LLMs are trained, structured, and deployed, you’ll gain the strategic insight to make smarter, faster decisions with AI — turning guesswork into precision and possibility.
